@Palladian The label says "Fritz Hansen," so they must be the real thing. They're really comfortable, and I've been enjoying doing my morning blogging sitting in one of these chairs. I like the low height of the seats. Very good for using a laptop actually on the lap.

Perhaps it’s the clean lines of this architectural work of art tucked away within the vibrant SoCo district. Maybe it’s the abundant light filtered through the canopy of oaks in the artfully landscaped Courtyard. Or it could be the absolute comfort and attention to detail found in each thoughtfully designed and technologically sophisticated room in this breathtaking boutique hotel.

The real deal! Those chairs were designed for a hotel lobby and I like that hotels still shell out for good furniture for their lobbies/common areas.

It looked a little too Euro-style for the San Jose, which likes to go for a little more of a spartan/quasi-rustic look, but it's been awhile since I stayed there so I thought it might have changed its look and feel. But it has that South Congress (no, never SoCo for me, thanks) vibe to it, and as you say, you are near there.

There is a nice streetside place near the San Jose where you can get tacos and sandwiches (or at least there was last time I was there). You should stop by there for an inexpensive meal and some pleasant people-watching.
